What can you do to save the earth? Saving the earth is everyone's duty. All of us can contribute some effort to make a better tomorrow. If you do not know how to begin, follow these tips.
Turn off your light: When you don't need it, it only makes sense to turn off your light bulb. If you have a regular incandescent bulb at your house, you should change it to a compact fluorescent bulb. Believe it or not, it is good to the environment, and it can also save you a lot of money. Although a fluorescent bulb may seem expensive, energy experts confirm that you will save more money with a fluorescent bulb long term. Even though incandescent bulb may be cheaper, it will burn out often. Furthermore, fluorescent bulb will only use a quarter of energy to generate the same amount of light.
Running faucet: Turn off the running faucet when you brush your teeth. Believe it or not, if you leave the water running for two minutes, you waste up to ten gallons of water.
Turn down the heat: If you must turn on the heater in the winter, you should set it at 135 degrees. Try to put on thicker blanket or jacket when you go to bed. You may not even need your heater.
Carry cloth shopping bags: Cloth shopping bags are better than plastic shopping bags for the environment.
Recycle: Recycle newspapers, plastic, cans, or glass. Learn about your local recycling facilities. Recycle whenever you can.
Alert your family about the environment: If you have children, you should teach them about recycling. Teach them to love the environment.
